The Mio-Pliocene transition in the Dacian Basin (Eastern Paratethys): Paleomagnetism, mollusks, microfauna and sedimentary facies of the Pontian regional stage
Well-documented, high-resolution sedimentary sections are critical to our understanding of the often eventful evolution of semi-isolated basins that form during the final stages of continent–continent convergence, as exemplified by the Mediterranean-Paratethys system. Due to its nearly land-locked position in the Late Miocene, the Mediterranean experienced the renowned Messinian Salinity Crisis. At the same time, the equally restricted Eastern Paratethys to the north-east evolved in a potentially related, but very distinctive way. The events of this period are fully recorded in the sediments deposited during the Pontian regional stage in the Dacian Basin, part of the Eastern Paratethys, which we here investigate in detail in the best available section. The studied interval of the Slănicul de Buzău section is more than 2 km thick and almost continuously exposed. It is analyzed for paleomagnetism, mollusks, microfauna and sedimentary facies. This allows us to refine previous results from nearby but less complete sections, with particular improvements concerning resolution, biostratigraphy and sedimentology. The marine incursion just below the base of the Pontian (6.1 Ma) is shown to significantly predate the early Pontian highstand. The biostratigraphically defined onset of the middle Pontian (6.0 Ma) coincides with the highstand and slightly predates the major regression (5.9–5.6 Ma) for which the middle Pontian is best known. In the here-investigated section, the transgression at the beginning of the late Pontian (5.6 Ma) is followed by a regressive trend culminating between 5.4 and 5.2 Ma around the Mio-Pliocene boundary (5.33 Ma). The late Pontian sedimentation then becomes relatively stable and the fauna gradually transitions (4.8 Ma) into assemblages characteristic for the Dacian stage of the Dacian Basin, while overall significantly diverging from the rest of the Eastern Paratethys. Finally, we discuss several factors that could affect accuracy and applicability of the updated chronostratigraphy, warranting some caution.
期刊介绍:
Geobios publishes bimonthly in English original peer-reviewed articles of international interest in any area of paleontology, paleobiology, paleoecology, paleobiogeography, (bio)stratigraphy and biogeochemistry. All taxonomic groups are treated, including microfossils, invertebrates, plants, vertebrates and ichnofossils.
Geobios welcomes descriptive papers based on original material (e.g. large Systematic Paleontology works), as well as more analytically and/or methodologically oriented papers, provided they offer strong and significant biochronological/biostratigraphical, paleobiogeographical, paleobiological and/or phylogenetic new insights and perspectices. A high priority level is given to synchronic and/or diachronic studies based on multi- or inter-disciplinary approaches mixing various fields of Earth and Life Sciences. Works based on extant data are also considered, provided they offer significant insights into geological-time studies.
